- angry-hacker 10y agoExactly. Top comment is always how to bypass the paywall and the readers here are wealthy than average. Having everything behind paywall would make the content available for selected few. How would HN even work if everything is paywalled?
- nickpsecurity 10y agoI believe the academics' comments in the Elselvier threads show how it would work. Hint: it wouldn't. ;)
